General Discussion

Hi

I like very much the portable software released on this site (specially GIMP) and now I want create my own portavle apps (software that I use)... but I've a question: what "Installer" (well... I know it's only an extractor) have you used to package your apps for the end users? .... I like very much the "look" of this installer (better than the simpler autoextractor of 7zip, winrar ecc...) and I want use it for my apps

Tnx a lot

I have an app that copies the settings folder called DreamChess to \Data\Settings\
Today I was thinking, could I just copy that folder into \Data instead of Data\Settings?

So instead
Data\Settings\DreamChess\
I would use
Data\DreamChess\

What do you guys think? Could devs make their own decision about that or would there be technical issues concerning these things?

Also, if an app has only one config file in \App could I put it in the root of \Data\ or would \Data\Settings\ be preferable.

But the main concern is if it would interfere with the PortableApps backup tool?

I found this one published on PenDriveApps.com just a minute ago: http://pendriveapps.com/2008/03/17/mozbackup-portable-firefox-and-thunde...

It is open source...

Can AutoIt3 (plus it's special version of SciTE that comes with it) be run from a USB drive? I have searched the forums, found 3 requests for info on this but no definitive answers.

Hi everyone

I know there have been a few people who've asked about this before so I think they will be happy to know that the good folk over at Desktop On Demand have made available a portable nx client. Hurrah!

At the moment the only way you can get hold of it is by signing up for an account and unfortunately its not open to the general public as yet but if you use the following link (which btw they have sanctioned for me to release to you good people here) you can get an account which gives you access to the download area for the client.

Revisions

All,
OK, I said I was going to post this after the next "dam" revision, just didn't expect it quite so soon so it might be a little disjointed , so here it goes.

I am concerned with the number of "Revisions" [i.e. Bug Fixes] being released.
I think this is a result of John being pushed [to put it kindly] recently to get things out faster.

I think that releasing Apps that need "revisions" so soon after release does not reflect well on our current testing procedures.

how do I get to know at what position is it listed now on sourceforge,where exactly do I find the listings? I hope it reaches the number one position a.s.a.p as out of all open source apps,this one is and is always going to be the best,hope it reaches the number 1 position quickly.Please tell me where can I find it,also at what position is it listed now.

So I just got done installing portable apps along with some programs. One of which was open office. i noticed that there was an icon for every instance of office (Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math and Writer), and it occurred to me that it'd be cool to have customizable folders so you can organize your programs into categories. Then you click on the folder and it expands to reveal the apps stored inside.

How come the picture of the portable applications menu on the home screen of this web site has an eject button on it? The menu I have don't have an eject button.
